Make sure the heavy red and black wires go directly to the battery. Make sure the small red wire has 12 volts while cranking as this turns on the ignition. You will either use the magnetic pickup wires (purple/green) or the white points wire to trigger the ignition. This will depend on what type of vehicle you have. The orange and black wires go to the coil- they should be the only wires on the coil.
Hello I am having same problem on my daughters car, I am not much of a mechanic. May I ask did you ever find solution
Physically has a turning problem ? Try your spare key and still has the problem? Replace the ignition switch.
it is an ignition problem...could be the ignition switch or the ignition coil if i rember right
most likely is ignition problem, check plugs and wires
The key to my ignition broke off in the ignition. Luckily, I was able to insert the remainder of the key in the ignition and turn on my car. In order to fix the problem, I had to take my car to the dealer and I am pretty sure they removed it and installed a new ignition "key hole" keyed to my car. It is a 1990, and I believe the problem happened approx 1993?
its not your ignition its your crankshaft sensor that's the same problem i had.
my car no start I check the spark ignition on the wires an they don't have how can fix the problem....
Could be the starter or ignition switch...does the car crank/turn over when you turn the key? If you just turn the key and it 'clicks' it might be the ignition switch. I've had this problem before, and it ended up being the alternator. HOpe this helps!
If all electronics work and the car still will not start, it might be a problem with the starter or ignition. If it was the alternator, the battery would be dead. There is also a possibility that the code on the key is worn if the car is equipped with electronic ignition. The car might also be out of fuel or have a fuel pump problem.
You probably have a bad ignition switch where the accessory position is on all of the time. I am having the same problem on a '97 and will be replacing the switch as soon as I can figure out how to get to it.
I experienced this same problem before too. The security system could be the problem. The imobaliser shuts of the car if it thinks there is a problem with the ignition(if it was hotwired).
hi i had same problem with my car after reading every1s answers about changing coil packs and sensors and still having same problem i managed to get a schematic for my car it turn out to be the amplifier/ignition module under coli pack hope this helps .... Craig honeyball
